For the past three years, I have had noticeable symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome—intense pain on my right side across shoulders, down into my arm with numbness in my ring and small fingers. While driving I had to turn my whole body to look for traffic versus just my head. I tried occupational therapy, consulted an orthopedic surgeon and went to one hour of physical therapy twice a week for 6 months. The physical therapy relieved the pain and increased some motion, but not completely.
My results, after being treated by Dr. Salminen, were immediate relief and the follow-up checkups help keep me at my optimum level.
Now, my range of motion in my neck is normal and the extreme muscle pain and stiffness on my right side is greatly diminished. I can drive, do routine household & daily life activities and unexpectedly, I am sleeping better.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Salminen and NUCCA care, particularly for those who have been frustrated by other treatments or other chiropractic techniques. My background is hospital/clinic administration and I was skeptical, but he has made a believer of me.

When I came to see Dr. Salminen, my upper and lower back muscles were so tight that I couldn’t lay flat on the floor—my shoulders were beginning to hunch over. I was also having much pain in my left shoulder. I had suffered from this condition for 20 years and it was progressively getting more painful. I didn’t consider seeing a doctor for it because I didn’t think they could help.
After being under NUCCA care, I am much for flexible in my shoulders and back, and I can stand up straighter. I now have more of a spring in my step! Unexpectedly, I am more relaxed. I have this sense of well-being…as I get older, I have more hope that my body is not going to deteriorate.
I really like the NUCCA approach—the gentleness of the technique and the x-rays to diagnose and correct the problem. Dr. Salminen is very caring and listened to my concerns. The Alpha Spine Center staff are very friendly, helpful and concerned.
